black bird,


hear me.
black bird,
eat this from me.
take the thing inside me
and rip it away.
I am worn and cold.
unfurl your feathers
and fly to me,
black bird.
use your beak to peck away
the despair from the marrow
of my bones.
touch the wet inside of me,
remove the sick you see.
I want you to have it.
I want you to have it all.
kill this thing inside of me,
shuttle me to beyond reason,
you fucking bird.
I am worn and desperate
and so full of filth
under my eyes.
peck them too,
take the blindness away,
black bird,
and give me time to weep.
